Statement made on 24 March 2011 by Senator James Cowan

Hon. James S. Cowan (Leader of the Opposition):

Honourable senators, my question is directed to the Leader of the Government in the Senate.

Bill S-11, a bill to provide safe drinking water on First Nations lands, was a major priority of this government, and then within the last few weeks the bill was dropped. What happened? Is clean drinking water on reserves no longer a priority for the government, did the government decide that the legislation it put forward was the wrong way to go, or did something else happen?
